The (Mystery) State Of The Union
1-800 Operator | Williamsport, PA, USA
(I was an 800-directory operator. We weren’t information, we just gave you 1-800 numbers.)
Caller: “Excuse me, but what state is Kentucky in?”
Me: “Well, Kentucky IS a state.”
Caller: “Yeah, but what state is it in?”
Me: “Sir, it’s not IN a state. There are 50 states, and Kentucky is one of them.”
Caller: “Well, there’s 52 states if you count Alaska and Hawaii.”
Me, sarcastically: “There’s only 52 states if you count Alaska and Hawaii TWICE. But there’s only 51 if you don’t count Kentucky.”
Caller: *click*
